placed. Setting the tire replacement in-
dicator for a certain driving distance
does not mean your tires will last that
long. Use the tire replacement indicator
as a guide only and always perform

WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use
the seat heater if you or the occupants
cannot monitor elevated seat tem-
peratures or have an inability to feel
pain in body parts that contact the
seat. Use of the seat heater by such
people could result in serious injury.

gine is not running.
• Do not use the seat heater for ex-
tended periods or when no one is us-
ing the seat.

on the seat or pierce it with a pin or
similar object. This may result in
damage to the heater.
• Any liquid spilled on the heated seat
should be removed immediately with

•The Loose Fuel Cap warning mes-
sage (if so equipped) will appear if
the fuel-filler cap is not properly
tightened. It may take a few driving
trips for the message to be dis-
played. Failure to tighten the fuel-
filler cap properly af ter the Loose
Fuel Cap warning message (if so
equipped) appears may cause the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
to illuminate.
• Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap
properly may cause the
Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) to illu-
minate. If the
light illuminates
because the fuel-filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap and
continue to drive the vehicle. The
light should turn off af ter a few
driving trips. If thelight does not
turn off af ter a few driving trips, have
the vehicle inspected. It is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
•
For additional information, see “Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL)” (P. 2-19).
• If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage. To remove the fuel-filler cap:
1. Turn the fuel-filler cap counterclockwise
to remove.
2. Loop the tether strap around the hook
O1while refueling.
To install the fuel-filler cap:

WARNING
• Do not adjust the steering wheel
while driving. You could lose control
of your vehicle and cause an
accident.
• Do not adjust the steering wheel any
closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and com-
fort. The driver's air bag inflates with
great force. If you are unrestrained,
leaning forward, sitting sideways or
out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a
crash. You may also receive serious
or fatal injuries from the air bag if you
are up against it when it inflates.
Always sit back against the seatback
and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel. Always use the seat
belts.
